Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
- fish high in mercury (tho other fish are ENCOURAGED)

Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
I had heard that if you are pregnant then you should not eat papaya..but yea i dont have any idea why
if anyone know, plez let me know also
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
Raw papaya (green / unripe papaya) contains an enzyme that can cause miscarriages in pregnancy. In some asian countries, when there is an unwanted pregnancy, the lady consumes raw papaya to cause an abortion.
I don't know if ripe papaya contains the same (or same amounts of this) enzyme, but if you want to be on the safe side, stay away from papaya.
It is possibly the same enzyme that is extracted from papaya and used in meat tenderizer.
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
^ wow didnt know that
in the religious books it says eat dates during pregnancy but in our culture we classify this as gurum food - but i think after 7 8 months it is okay. do you think i am safe to eat dates in the first few months between 4 and 5 months?
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
In the Quran is mentioned that Maryam was instructed to eat dates as sustenance when she was pregnant, so it's probably good to eat dates. I would disregard the garam factor.
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
I don't understand all this garam tanda stuff.
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
cut down on soft drinks and junk food eg chocs and chips etc.
eat loads of fruit/ veg. eat healthy food.

This is true. Same goes for Pineapples.
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
^ That's interesting, because many women experiencing fertility issues are encouraged to drink pineapple juice at certain points in their cycle, to aid in implantation.
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
You just have to be careful that it isn't raw and uncooked.
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
^ Raw pineapple is one of my favorites, but it's funny, in the first trimester I didn't want it at all. I guess it was for the best!
Re: forbidden food in pregnancy
^ What? Why do we need to avoid that? People have been encouraging me to eat it -- especially cuz of the high iron content.

Apparently Liver is specifically banned for pregnant ladies bcos it has a high concentration of Vitamin A which is bad for developing babies. All the UK dietary lists have this as a no no.
